ctypes was never completed, and a number of bugs have been raised (#1916, #1917). Incomplete is essentially useless for something like ctypes.
I'm proposing we remove ctypes for beta 4 in favor of eventual CFFI support, specifically through the Jiffy project (current vaporware, https://github.com/jythontools/jiffy). The feedback from our PyPy colleagues is that CFFI is the way to go, especially since it has good unit tests and it's a much smaller project.
